4%2F%28m%5E2-7%29+=+1 Start with the given equation


4+=+m%5E2-7 Multiply both sides by m%5E2-7


4%2B7+=+m%5E2 Add 7 to both sides.


11+=+m%5E2 Add


m%5E2=11 Rearrange the equation


m=0%2B-sqrt%2811%29 Take the square root of both sides.


m=sqrt%2811%29 or m=-sqrt%2811%29 Break up the "plus/minus" to form two equations.


--------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solutions are m=sqrt%2811%29 or m=-sqrt%2811%29.
